Whistleblower Lawyer in Pasadena, CA

It can be confusing and scary to learn that your employer is engaged in illegal or fraudulent activity. However, if you need a whistleblower attorney in Pasadena, CA, we are ready to step in to be by your side. We firmly believe that everyone deserves protection for reporting wrongdoing, and you may even be eligible for compensation for qui tam reporting. Let us get to work for you. It is the right thing to do, and we will have your back.

Illegal activity needs to be reported

There is a range of reasons that an employee or contractor may need to come forward and make a report about the operations of someone they are working for. This can include, but is not limited to:

• Knowledge of state labor law violations
• Knowledge of illegal pollution practices on the part of their employer
• Reporting unsafe working conditions
• Reporting sexual harassment or discrimination and the coverup of these allegations
• Public employees reporting wasteful or unnecessary spending of public money

The good news is that whistleblowers are protected. California has some of the strongest whistleblower laws in the United States. These protections can extend to whistleblowers even if they have participated in the illegal activity they are reporting.

Who is protected?

• Employees of both public AND private agencies or companies (including non-profits).
• Those who work for educational institutions.
• Employees AND third-party contractors who come forward to the police.
• Protections are also extended to those who make reports to supervisors internally OR to those who make reports to public agencies or public investigative bodies.
• Even those who make reports of suspected illegal activity are protected.

Workers are protected from retaliation on the part of their employer when they come forward. It is illegal for an employer to retaliate against an employee for reporting illegal or suspected illegal activity.

Could you explain what a qui tam claim is?

We know you are probably wondering about reports concerning issues like:

• Tax fraud
• Healthcare fraud (Medicare/Medicaid)
• Securities and stock fraud
• Government funds fraud

A qualified Pasadena Qui Tam attorney understands that these cases are similar to other whistleblower claims, but they differ in one significant way. Those who come forward to report these instances of fraud may be eligible for up to 30% of any monies recovered due to the claim being made.
